What would you think if I told you there was a way to never spend another penny of your own income on comic books, yet still be able to be an avid collector?\u00a0 Would you be interested?<\/p>\n
One of the biggest problems comic book collectors (or any collectors) have is coming up with the money for their “fix”.\u00a0 I’m going to cover some methods to overcome this problem over a few posts.<\/p>\n
First, you need to decide what kind of collector you are.\u00a0 I covered some of this way back in this post.\u00a0 Are you strictly a collector with no thought at all to the value of the comic books you acquire?\u00a0 Or are you like most comic book fans – a collector\/investor?\u00a0 If you are strictly a collector, a lot of this information is not for you, but definitely read the first part.\u00a0 If you are a collector\/investor than you need to read this entire post.<\/p>\n
The Perpetual Collection<\/strong><\/p>\n The idea behind the perpetual collection is simple.\u00a0 Through smart buying or accumulation combined with smart selling or turnover, you can raise enough cash to cover your collecting habits.\u00a0 The plan can be thought of as an ever flowing circle based on those to basic ideas.<\/p>\n Buying and Accumulation<\/strong><\/p>\n The first phase of the perpetual collection is buying or accumulation.\u00a0 If you are strictly a collector, pay attention to the comic book buying posts.\u00a0 I don’t just call this buying because I’m going to give you a few other techniques to get comic books without paying a cent.\u00a0 This phase covers every way you can possibly bring comic books into your collection or hoard.<\/p>\n Selling or Turnover<\/strong><\/p>\n If you are the typical collector\/investor then you will also need this phase of the perpetual collection. This is called turnover because you are not just going to sell books in this phase, you will also discover how to move books for other gains.\u00a0 There are a lot of ways to maximize your sales and turnover that are well outside the typical methods you see online and offline.<\/p>\n Putting it Together<\/strong><\/p>\n The two categories, buying comic books and selling comic books fit together to make this strategy.\u00a0 When you see an article or post under the buying comic books category, you know where it fits.\u00a0 Use the strategies to buy or acquire books for the lowest possible price and usually with an eye on being able to turn them over for the largest gain.<\/p>\n Under the selling comic books category you will find strategies to maximize your gains when books move out of your collection. I’ll also cover some ingenious ways to make some cash from you collection without selling a single book.<\/p>\n Stay tuned for the buying and selling strategies…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" What would you think if I told you there was a way to never spend another penny of your own income on comic books, yet still be able to be an avid collector?\u00a0 Would you be interested?
